Talk:Whiteleys

Untitled

Is it true that Adolf Hitler declared that when (if) he captured London, he wanted use Whiteleys as his headquarters? If so I can add this to the article. ~ Dpr 04:22, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

I think this is likely an urban legend (see Adolf Hitler talk page). Wyss 00:38, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Boat Race

I once saw a report that in the early 1930's the University Boat Race was relayed in real-time every year to a huge crowd of people gathered in the street by progressively raising dark and light blue pennants up the flag pole (presumably using John Snagg's radio commentary) - can anyone substantiate this?

William Whitely's murder

By his illegitimate son Horace Rayner, in his office in the store, surely deserves mention?

1986

The number who died in 1986 when the crane collapsed is said to be one, in one version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.98.54.49 (talk) 16:05, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

There might have been two people in the crane. One died and one survived. This is what I heard.

2018

The date the current building will close is apparently the end of the November of 2018. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.169.192.50 (talk) 09:52, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
